Recovery taught me how to not be an alcoholic.
Holidays can be a tough time for those on the path to sobriety, but Episode 354 of Recovery Elevator offers a lifeline. This episode features Cordell, a 38-year-old from North Dakota, who shares his story of leaving alcohol behind on December 6, 2017. Growing up in a small town with a Christian family, Cordell's early encounters with alcohol were frequent. His journey to sobriety, however, has been transformative, proving to be the best decision he's ever made.
He talks about the importance of community and support in his recovery, and how taking responsibility for his actions has led to a more fulfilling life. Odette joins the episode to offer practical advice for navigating the holiday season sober. Her Holiday Survival Guide is packed with useful tips like having an escape plan, volunteering to do the dishes, and digging deep into your reasons for staying sober.
Odette also emphasizes the importance of clear communication with loved ones and setting expectations ahead of time. Whether it's leaving early or referencing plans for the next day, these strategies can help you stay committed to your sobriety. This episode is a treasure trove of advice and personal stories that highlight the power of mindfulness, support, and being present. It's perfect for anyone who finds the holiday season particularly challenging when it comes to staying sober.
